Music.

Music has a great influence in our lives but we do not use it the right way or we do not noticed what happened. It is able to control our emotions in good and even bad ways. Why don't we use music to live a happier life?

There are some things what music does to our bodies… It is possible to control our emotions and bring them back to the feeling we wish for!

The world is full of crazy sounds and chuck full of ear hurt that some people refer to as music. Lady Gaga, The Jonas Brothers, Tailor Swift they all produce high quality records for our enjoyment wether we like it or not.

But music ,even terrible music, has a stunning amount of power over our bodies.

1. Repair brain Damage

Music is able to take stroke, lesion or other brain-damaged patients who have lost their partial ability to speak or to see return to them. Of course it is not completely healed but music can do wonders!

One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain. - Bob Marley

2. Addiction

Performing music can be very relaxing and can create a distraction from withdrawal symptoms. Songwriting is a great way to help patients confront impulse control and self-deception. It allows an output of negative emotions. Music can even help by recovering from drug addiction.

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. - Victor Hugo

3. Boost your immune system

Music can boost your immune system. You may ask how does this work? Music is able to reduce stress and stress is a big negative part because it attacks your immune system immediately.

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. - Berthold Auerbach

4. Return lost memories

Medical practitioners have found out that music has a high potential in bringing back some of your memories. Even ones in late stages of dementia. So if you had your first kiss to Hungry Eyes by Eric Carmen the song can bring that memory right back to you when you hear it.

Music is the strongest form of magic. - Marilyn Manson

I am not a specialist but I saw and felt so many positive things about music so I had to share them with my Steemit community. Of course this is not everything… There are a lot more reasons to do a little research on „what music does to our bodies“ . Even if we see listen to music and do music as a nice leisure activity ,our nervous system has to cope with difficult tasks. Active listening initiated learning processes ,which lead to new connections in our brain. These new connections ensure that all the new informations which a piece of music contains be classified.

Now lets go back to the influence which music has in our lives which I mentioned earlier. Music has a great control over our bodies. I want to show you some examples….

Did you notice your changing moods while you listen to the radio ? When they play mainstream songs like „turn up“ songs , do you feel more happy? And if there is a song playing like „turning tables“ by Adele do you feel sad? If there is a classical sound are you more creative and more in the zone? I personally would answer every question with yes! You see music is a big influence and do you want to be controlled by others choosing the music for you?

The tasks for the upcoming week.

Use classical music for work ,reading or creative things like drawing or thinking about a new idea.
Use your favorite playlist which contains a minimum of 5 songs you would dance to when you´re sad or when you feel exhausted but there is work to do.
Use sounds of nature when you try to meditate.

That is enough for the beginning. Just test it for a few days and let me know if you felt a change.

I would love to read your opinion of music in the comments.

Thank you for reading ,I hope it is helpful to some you.
